"Just learned you can rent a canoe in Government Camp and they’ll drop it at the lake for you. It is kind of expensive- you have to really want that canoe ride."
"The best feature though, is the easy access to the trails and fishing at Trillium Lake, and proximity to Mt. Hood."
$45 - $125 / night
"I have kind of a love/hate thing going on for Lost Lake Campgrounds.
Pros: It is beautiful. There's a reason it's one of Oregon's most photographed sites."
"Lost Lake Resort & Campground is somewhere we go at least once each summer. It has that nostalgic summer-camp vibe. A little more spendy than your typical Oregon campsite, but serene and private."

"Campground Review
Midway between Welches and Government Camp, I picked Camp Creek as a my Mt."

"Intimate & quiet little campground close to Portland. Little crater lake is beautiful and a quick walk from the campsite. The PCT is a minute or two walk from the lake."

$22 - $28 / night
"The campsite itself is near a beautiful lake, Timothy Lake. There are plenty of campsites that are on the edge of the lake, which is one of my favorite parts about this campground."
"Great spot on Timothy lake to hang out, drink a beer, and not have to deal with the crowds at a day use area.
The walk-in sites are a little close together, but that’s expected at most campgrounds."
"This is a large, paved parking lot with a stream nearby. Has a good view of Mt. Hood and vault toilets, so that's a positive. The downside is that it's not level. "
"Tucked our trailers up in the far corner with a commanding view of Mt. Hood! Well, not much view the first smokey day, but it cleared up nicely after a wind shift the following day. "
ScoutThis place is free for a reason. It has actually nice location, but the trains are no joke. They are seriously loud do not underestimate this. This is not for everyone. It literally is every half hour with the train blaring his horn.
GuideNice site. Found in typical condition. Please pick up after yourself. Many sites out here. Camped on a week day. One other camper out here. No traffic on road. Like others said road getting in sucks. Site I picked had a trail down to the creek that was nice. Would recommend the area for just a nice quiet disconnect. No service.
LegendNot hard to get to and literally right on the Columbia River but a bit too windy for kayaking unless you're a pro. Vault toilet, clean, good cell service and fantastic views. Mount Hood in the distance as to the stunning scenery.
ScoutBeautiful place!! Very nice campground. Bathrooms are exceptional. Stayed in site 50. Beautiful view of mountain and meadow!!!
GuideThe coordinates here were incorrect coming from Hood River Oregon. It sent me down a rough dead end forest service road. I ended up lost on the mountain for 3 hours and finally made it out somewhere near camas. Make sure you have lots of fuel

ScoutThe spot is not difficult to get to nor is it desolate. When we arrived there was trucks and rvs in the area. Parking next to water seemed like a dream, until your are awaked by the sound of a screaming train in your ear. For last minute locations, I would stop here again.
RangerHad a great time even with temps near 100. The wind river runs right next to camp and is a great place to cool down. Pit toilets are clean. Campsite and park are clean. Will go back again.
ScoutRoad Noise and TRAINS Clean, cheap $15, Location, all good.
